“…A diachronic perspective over a number of decades however has highlighted that, in spite of the continuation and even intensification of the logging operations and including the rigorous transformation of the landscape, the Orang Rimba have proved to be much more resilient than initially expected. The same conclusion has also been drawn for other forest-dwelling communities in similar conditions (Bahuchet et al 2001, Minter 2010, Endicott 2016. They turned out to be resilient in coping with the challenges imposed upon them by the changing conditions.…”

The landscape of Central Sumatra has changed rapidly over the past few decades. Industrial logging and the subsequent conversion of the lowland rainforests into oil palm and rubber plantations, the establishment of transmigration sites and the ever-expanding road network have forced the forest dwelling communities of the Orang Rimba to adapt their traditional modes of subsistence. Traditional hunting, fishing and gathering simply did not yield enough food and forest products for exchange purposes anymore. In this contribution an overview will be given of the impact of large-scale logging and the processes of forest conversion that have taken place in the wake of the logging operations. The article covers a period of about four decades in which fieldwork by both authors has taken place at various periods. It will show the various ways the Orang Rimba have reacted to the challenges and the opportunities that emerged as a result of these operations.

“…Somewhat inevitably, as the Malay population grew, the relationship soured and the political and economic importance of the Orang Asli communities began to decline (Andaya, 2002;Endicott, 2016). The situation reached the point of Orang Asli community members finding themselves enslaved by Malay rulers (Endicott, 2016(Endicott, , 1983.…”

“…Among the Orang Asli groups, the Semang were most affected by slave-raids, their areas being easily accessible to outsiders. By contrast, the Temiar (a Senoic people) were largely left alone because they occupied the difficult terrain of forests (Andaya, 2002). In some instances, slave-raiding was the cause of internecine conflicts within Orang Asli groups themselves (Andaya, 2002; Endicott, 1983).…”

“…In general, the British government did not directly interfere with Orang Asli affairs since there was little to be gained economically from doing so. Following pressure from abolitionists in England, the colonial government helped to end the enslavement of Orang Asli people, a favourable and moral action given their symbiotic relationships with the Malay rulers (Andaya, 2002; Endicott, 2016; Toshihiro, 2009).…”

Social justice leadership is a method of building greater inclusivity in a variety of fields, education being prominent among them. This article considers how social justice leadership can improve educational opportunities for Orang Asli (the original people; the Indigenous people of Peninsular Malaysia). It explores the concepts of social justice and social justice leadership, arguing that they are useful, but in focusing on the relationship between the individual and the collective, they do not always fully appreciate the epistemological bases of the concepts, thus missing their true import for Orang Asli people. Practical examples of how Orang Asli people suffer in educational settings are given, the emphasis being on underachievement and bullying. Finally, the strands are tied together with a discussion of how social justice leadership can be of benefit, the onus being on how social justice leaders need to be cognisant of Orang Asli culture and forms of knowledge before serious progress can be made.

“…Due to the nature of the tropical rainforest, the Orang Asli were exposed to numerous environmental stress stimuli, including poor personal hygiene, parasites and pathogens, as well as a lack of dietary nutrition. However, in the last several decades, certain Orang Asli communities have been relocated to semi-urban areas due to unavoidable modernization and the government's initiative to alleviate poverty [57]. Consequently, there has been an increase in the prevalence of metabolic syndromes within the Orang Asli, especially among those being resettled near urban areas.…”

Background: The advancement of genomics has progressed in lightning speed over the past two decades. Numerous large-scale genome sequencing initiatives were announced, along with the rise of the holistic precision medicine approach. However, the field of genomic medicine has now come to a bottleneck since genomic-phenomic interactions are not fully comprehended due to the complexity of the human systems biology and environmental influence, hence the emergence of human phenomics. Results: This review attempts to provide an overview of the potential advantages of investigating the human phenomics of indigenous populations and the challenges ahead. Conclusion:We believe that the indigenous populations serve as an ideal model to excavate our understanding of genomic-environmental-phenomics interactions.
